Watch Tesla's Model S "Alpha" run around the block! It's been a while since we've seen various updates on the Model S and then suddenly *BAM!* In all it's glory, here's the amazing video. I can't wait to test drive this beast hopefully later this year or early 2012! If you need a refresher, hit up the Model S Specifications page here.

Model S, engineered from the ground up as an EV, is meticulously designed for superior aerodynamics, stability and handling, crash safety, performance and range. Before Model S enters production it will have been thoroughly tested using both computer simulations and test vehicles. Tesla will complete two vehicle testing phases, Alpha and Beta. The Alpha phase began in 2010. Here is one Alpha driving in California.
